TV Special Honors
'Godfather of Soul’
(AP) — The Kennedy Center - usually home to opera,
symphony and theater - got on the good foot last week as stars
from the R&B charts paid tribute to “Godfather of Soul” James
Brown.
The Kennedy Center Honors will be broadcast on CBS Dec.
26.
Rapper LL Cool J said Brown “broke down mental and social
barriers and made it possible for me, a black kid from Queens,
to stand in front of presidents and say, ‘Say it loud. I'm black and
I'm proud.’”
Younger R&B stars covered some of Brown’s hits, with
Anastacia performing “Sex Machine,” Joss Stone singing “It’s a
M an’s M an's M an's W orld” and Brian McKnight tackling
“Papa’s Got a Brand New Bag.”

Ex-Ronette ‘Devastated’ Over Spector Case
(A P ) — R o n n ie S p e c to r
G reenfield, who with her sister
and cousin made up the black
1960s girl group the Ronettes,
was "devastated” when ex-hus
band and record producer Phil
Spector was charged with m urder
in California.
"I had never seen him violent like
that, with a gun or anything,”
Greenfield said. "I feel awful.”
G reenfield, now 60, acknow l
edged that Spector often threat
ened her while they were married,
from 1968-74, and after they d i
vorced. She said he w arned her
he would send a hit man after her
but was never violent himself.
Spector, 63, is charged in the
Feb. 3 shooting death of actress
Lana Clarkson in his hilltop man
sion in Alhambra, Calif. He sug
gested that Clarkson, 40, may have
shot herself.
Greenfield said she hadn't con
tacted Spector.
“I really wanted to stay out of it,"
she said. "I think we'll always be
friends because we have children
together. I think it best if I don't talk
to him now.”
Her com m ents cam e outside a
court hearing in New York where
negotiations were underw ay to
settle a lawsuit against Spector
that w ould give the R onettes
$890,000 owed for recordings but
not for royalties for uses that
include advertising and movies.
The Ronettes' lawyer, Alexander
Pelt/., says the women are due at
least $1.5 million. The difference
between the sums required a hear
ing before a judge who will do her
own calculation of what the women
are owed.
